The next day, in the early morning, thick fog filled the entire Yanshan Mountains.?
This is also Yuyang’s daily routine in summer.
In this mountainous area, there are four rivers that meander and converge.
The high temperature in summer steams a lot of river water, which condenses into dew and mist in the morning.
Lan Zheye rode his war horse and walked slowly down a hillside. Behind him, hundreds of cavalrymen followed closely.
"Dadanghu, thirty miles ahead is the camp of the Han Dynasty army..." A Gudu Marquis said following Lan Zheye.
"Well..." Lan Zheye nodded slightly, raised the riding whip in his hand slightly, and asked: "Have you determined the composition of the Han Dynasty's army?"
"Reporting to Dadaanghu, it can be confirmed that the main force of the Han Dynasty should be its Feihu Army, Xiliu Camp and the Han Dynasty's Chang'an City Guards, part of the Southern Army and the Northern Army. The total number should be no more than 30,000...
"
"Flying Fox Army?" Lan Zheye licked his tongue, with an excited look in his eyes.
He remembered that winter about nine years ago.
At that time, he was just the Guduhou of Xuhuan's army. Shanyu led them to break through the Yanmen Pass of the Han Dynasty and the Shanwu City of the Han Dynasty. They went south along Wangwu Mountain and encountered that between the Zhao Dynasty of the Han Dynasty.
Support the Flying Fox Army of the Han Dynasty.
That is indeed a tough team to crack.
but……
so what?
Under the attack of the brave White Wolf Cavalry, even the Flying Fox Army, known as the five main forces of the Han Dynasty, was driven down the river like a chicken or a dog.
Countless Han Dynasty people were struggling and crying in the river.
He and his cavalry stood on the shore, holding long bows, and fired one by one, using the so-called elites of the Han Dynasty troops who fell into the water as targets for practicing their shooting skills.
That was such a fun and enjoyable practice!
It is said that the commander of the Flying Fox Army of the Han Dynasty was also shot to death in the river.
Lan Zheye still feels quite regretful. If he had known that the commander of the Han Dynasty's Flying Fox Army was in the water, he would definitely have fished him out, then... skinned and cramped him, and then inserted his head into a wooden stake.
pity……
I didn’t know it at the time!
Lan Zheye still regrets this.
But, it doesn’t matter!
Now, haven’t we met again?
Unlike other Huns, they were afraid and fearful when mentioning the Han Dynasty.
Lan Zheye had no fear or fear at all.
What did the people of the Han Dynasty have to fear?
In the past few decades, the White Wolf Warriors of the Xu Huan Army have been crushing all the enemies they encountered.
Lan Zheye once personally defeated many of the so-called powerful armies of the Han Dynasty that are now being touted as miraculous.
He personally shot and killed countless Han Dynasty soldiers.
In his view, people of the Han Dynasty were also human beings.
An arrow to the head would definitely kill him.
How can a Han with less than ten thousand cavalry be invincible if he has ten thousand?
Have you ever asked the brave and powerful white wolf to ride?
As for the so-called 'divine cavalry', in Lan Zheye's eyes, they are just some cavalry with relatively strong defense.
Nothing strong.
What's more, now, this Han Dynasty army is advancing alone and has no backup.
Lan Zheye didn't believe it at all, could they still make a difference?
Thinking of this, Lan Zheye became a little angry.
"This coward, Xie Yunan, has completely disgraced the face of our great Huns!" Lan Zheye raised his whip, pointed into the distance and said, "You don't dare to attack! Humph!"
Like Lan Zheye, his subordinates were also very angry about this and said one after another: "You are not ignorant of the big family, the Xiyun family has no other ability except to flatter others..."
Lan Zheye also laughed when he heard this.
He is Landasin's younger brother, his biological brother.
But unlike Brother Nai, he is a psychopath, maybe even schizophrenic, irritable and irritable.
Otherwise, he would not be able to become the commander of the Ten Thousand Cavalry of the Xu Huan Army.
In fact, the Xu Huan Army, or the White Wolf Cavalry as it is commonly known, has a very bad reputation throughout the Xiongnu.
This cavalry has been Shanyu's bodyguard for generations. As the permanent guard of the royal court, it is just like the northern and southern armies of the Han family in the past and the current Hu Ben and Yu Lin guards.
Chanyus in the past dynasties would select a trustworthy person from among their cronies and die-hard loyalists to command the army. At special times, the Chanyu would even take command himself.
In the decisive battle of Mobei in history, this Xu Huan army fought against Huo Qubing.
result……
He was beaten into a pig's head by Huo Qubing in Gonglu River.
In this battle, Huo Qubing used the surrendered Hu cavalry as the vanguard, with the infantry of Lu Bode, the governor of Beiping County, as the two wings. He personally commanded the Han army's elite cavalry and went around to the flank of Xu Huan's army.
Huo Qubing took the lead and was extremely brave.
Xu Huanjun, known as the fang of the Chanyu, was so frightened that he turned into a husky.
Countless people jumped into the cold Gonglu water, and the bodies of the dead were spread all over the Gobi.
Huo Qubing's losses were only 500 people...
But Xu Huan's army, the Xiongnu elite known as White Wolf, never appeared again.
Of course, the reason why Huo Qubing was able to fight so smoothly was related to the fact that he had defeated and severely defeated the main force of Shanyu's royal court one after another before.
Especially before the Battle of Gonglu River, Huo Qubing went down to Nanhou Mountain and defeated the main force of King Zuoxian of the Xiongnu, killing 30,000 people and capturing countless prisoners.
The spirit of the Xiongnu army was completely destroyed.
In addition, at the same time, Wei Qing used Wu Gang's chariots as a formation to completely annihilate the main force of the Xiongnu Chanyu, and the Chanyu only escaped with his own body.
But now, the morale of Xu Huan's army is still high, especially the three western expeditions, which make them extremely proud, thinking that they are the best in the world.
He was deeply worried about the popularity of the Han army's divine cavalry.
Of course, Lan Zheye also has the confidence to be so arrogant!
His cavalry was the first Xiongnu cavalry to be equipped with imitation Han cavalry equipment.
Now, it is the only cavalry of the Xiongnu whose war horses are all armed with Dayuan horses and Wusun horses.
The quality of these war horses is far superior to the war horses of the Huns before.
Not only is he tall and powerful, his four hooves are strong and powerful, but his speed and explosive power are also very good, making him very suitable for Xu Yuan's army.
With these war horses, Xu Huan's army can only be described as more powerful than a tiger.
Not to mention, they were equipped with the best equipment.
Lan Zheye is confident that with the current strength of his army, he can fight against any army without falling behind.
Even if the gods of the Han Dynasty are riding by his side, he can still defeat them!
"Why haven't you captain's forces arrived yet?" After waiting for a while, Lan Zheye suddenly asked angrily: "Isn't that bastard Xu Bu Dang Tu like the one who hid in fear?
Have you gone to drink milk in a woman's dome?"
This march was a decision made by Lan Zheye and Xubu Dangtu by throwing away the orders and shackles of being the successor to Huyan Dangtu and acting on their own initiative.
Anyway, in Lan Zheye's eyes, that Xie Yunan was just a slave of Chanyu and had no qualifications to instruct him.
Moreover, Lan Zheye was also very dissatisfied with the performance of the current Chanyu in the Han Dynasty.
The Xuhuan cavalry were even more unhappy.
These savage cavalrymen who believe in the White Wolf God have fought all their lives and have never been so aggrieved as they are today!
The Chanyu did not let them go to the battlefield at all.
Just let them stay behind.
And the reason turned out to be the extremely ridiculous 'save the horse'.
In Lan Zheye's view, the military officials were frightened by the Han Dynasty people and their minds were confused.
Indeed, the war horses of Xu Huan's army are very valuable.
The Xiongnu Empire exhausted all their resources and could only scrape together less than 10,000 horses.
Most of them were given to Xu Huan's army, and only a few hundred were left as seeds in the pasture of Dawan.
But, just like people, they will always die.
The same goes for war horses.
If the cavalry has good horses but cannot go into battle to kill the enemy, wouldn't it mean that these horses were raised in vain?
In Lan Zheye's view, it was this extremely bad and cowardly decision by the military officials that led to the army being forced to attack the city and making no progress for a full month.
Lan Zheye felt that if he and his cavalry were allowed to charge, they would definitely be able to capture Yuyang Fort without losing too much, enter Jicheng, and have a good time killing, burning, and looting!
Therefore, Lan Zheye now really has the idea of 'changing to a better Shanyu'.
This thought is the subconscious thought of almost every Hun nobleman when he feels that Shan Yu is not good enough.
Regicide, this is the fine tradition of the Huns!
While Lan Zheye was cursing, he rode through the morning fog with a light horse and came to him. He dismounted and knelt down to report: "I am reporting to a powerful family. The Shanyu has an order: Whether you are a slave or a noble, you must fight bravely!"
"Those who can reach the first level of the Han Dynasty, slaves will be promoted to herdsmen, herdsmen will be promoted to Qushuai, and Qushuai will be promoted to Guduhou!"
"If you can kill the officers above the Han Dynasty team leader, everyone below the Gudu Marquis will be promoted to the Gudu Marquis!"
"No matter who is able to kill the captain or captain of the Han Dynasty, this Shanyu will marry the daughter of the Twins!"
"Anyone who can take the Han Dynasty's chariots and generals, no matter who they are, will be named the King of Heaven and will be given 30,000 slaves, 3,000 female slaves, and 100,000 livestock!"
"Hmm..." Lan Zheye was slightly startled, then his face flushed.
The military minister Chanyu actually offered such a big reward!!!
Very good!
He pulled out the sword from his waist and shouted to his nobles: "Long live the Great Danyu! Kill all the people of the Han Dynasty!"
Now, his resentment and complaints against the military officials have disappeared.
He even felt that Jun Chen was a good chanyu!
This is why outsiders would call Xu Juanjun a psychopath.
For neurotics, their thoughts are difficult for normal people to predict. What they thought one second may change in the next second.
But now, the military officials offered a large reward unprecedented in the history of the Xiongnu, which immediately made Lan Zheye and his army's blood boil and they could not control themselves.
"King of heaven? Humph!" Lan Zheye laughed: "I'm determined!"
When he becomes the king of heaven, he will definitely take revenge!
All those who forced his brother to death were arrested, hung, skinned and cramped.
For Lan Zheye, he and his brother Lan Tuoxin have the same affection as father and son.
In fact, he was brought up by Landasin.
After Landasin's death, he swore that one day he would kill all those who betrayed and betrayed his brother.
For example, those bastards from the Lan family, and that guy who was trying to make things difficult for him!
…………………………………………
The unprecedented large reward given by military ministers stimulated more than just one Xu Huan army.
Almost all the Huns are now as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
There must be a brave man under a heavy reward.
Even the noodle soldiers of World War II could push back on John Bull as long as they were given enough money.
Not to mention the Huns?
Now, except for those tribes who half-heartedly made up their minds and seized the opportunity to fight before the battle, the remaining Huns, even the slaves and vassals were extremely excited.
They dare not expect to become Guduhou or Heavenly King.
However, slaves want to become cavalry or even nobles, and nobles want to move to the next level.
These are things beyond doubt.
Therefore, today's Huns army is as excited as if they were on stimulants.
Morale also began to rise.
Even Xie Yunan, who was originally stuck in the fortress of Yang fortress and did not dare to leave the city, was excited after hearing the reward and immediately rushed to the battlefield with his troops and the Black Crow Cavalry.
As for the 'forced down' cavalry who were still dilly-dallying on the road and were a little afraid to move forward, they suddenly picked up their speed.
On this morning, the Huns cavalry in the Yaoyang area seemed to have been punched by someone, and they suddenly became angry and rushed towards Yi Zong's camp.
However, at this time, in the morning fog, Yi Zong stood on a high platform and mobilized his army.
"Captain Guo!" Yi Zong ordered.
"The general is here!" Guo Mao immediately came out.
"Please lead the captain's light cavalry to cross the Ru River and capture Baitan!" Yi Zong said: "I will strengthen the tunnel camp to the captain. Please captain, please be sure to capture Baitan today and force the Huns cavalry to divide their troops!"
"Nuo!" Guo Mao immediately accepted the order. The relevant combat arrangements had been handed over to him by Yi Zong yesterday.
He knew that the purpose of his trip was to mobilize the main force of the Huns and force them to divide their forces.
As long as the Huns divided their forces, they would give the Han army a chance.
You know, there is a vast space of hundreds of miles between Bai Tan and Yaoyang Fortress.
But Yi Zong knows very well that this is not enough!
After all, the Huns still have at least about 100,000 troops.
After excluding the auxiliary soldiers, slaves and vassals, the fighting force still has at least 70,000 cavalry!
Once a cavalry force of 70,000 people is dispersed, it can open a large net three hundred miles wide from north to south and five hundred miles long from east to west.
Therefore, Yi Zong must learn what Bai Qi did in the Battle of Yique, and let the Huns divide their troops. At the same time, he must mobilize these cavalry and let them follow him and run around. Only in this way can he have a chance to defeat the Huns.
The main force is divided and then defeated one by one.
Therefore, Yi Zong's only choice was to go behind Yaoyang's back.
And Guo Mao's department was to create opportunities for him to get behind Yaoyang!
But compared to the Han and Wei coalition forces that Bai Qi faced in the Battle of Yique, Yi Zong knew very well that the Huns were not the Han and Wei coalition forces.
The Huns are an army dominated by cavalry. They are flexible and fast. Therefore, if he wants to get behind Yaoyang, he must deceive the Huns!
How to cheat?
of course……
Make claims in the east and attack in the west, avoid the truth and turn to the imaginary!
And if you want to deceive the Huns, you must do something that the Huns will believe!
He raised his arms and ordered: "An hour after Captain Guo went south, our entire army will go south. We must let the Huns know that our army is also going to Baitan!"
As for Bai Tan, Yi Zong believed that the Huns would never dare to give up!
